We can't moan about IOS deficiencies....and also moan when Cisco take the opportunity of fundamentally new hardware to fundamentally re-architect the software to fix those problems.
I like many I suspect have been suffering recently. They don't seem to be able to add a feature (or even fix a bug) without breaking 2 others. And not minor breaks but fundamental things like QoS in recent mainline 12.4 code. Its killing us in terms of testing. We cant simply do a few spot checks - we have to check every release we want to use in fine detail. I'm hoping that something like IOS XE will give a clean break with the legacy code base (at least on some platforms). Of course time will tell and I'm hopeful....not confident!
